My brother emailed me pictures tonight of a mandolin he saw at a swap meet today. I posted them on my homepage and was hoping some Vega experts on the hangout could help tell me what it is.
It is labeled Vega, but he said it sure didn't look old enough to be an original Vega. My brother is not a musician, but I am hoping to check it out tomorrow if the guy still has it. My brother did not get any info other than the pictures.
Does anyone know anything about this mandolin? I'm guessing someone had the rights to the name and were making these mandolins before Deering bought the name...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
